Seeing that Sun Chuanzhong could hardly move his eyes away from the equipment and ammunition, Tao Shunmin said happily: "Old Sun, take a longer view and tell you that among the materials and equipment that Commander Kong gave us in Jizhong this time,
These equipment and ammunition are actually the lowest value."
"So much equipment, the lowest value? How do you say this?"
Sun Chuanzhong looked surprised.
Tao Shunmin smiled and said nothing, not prepared to explain.
"I'll tell you all after I go back and see the group leader!"
Soon, the headquarters of the 28th Regiment in Jizhong.
Tao Shunmin formally met Commander Lu, saluted him with a military salute, and reported: "Reporting to the commander, Tao Shunmin, commander of the third battalion of the 28th Regiment, has returned from injury!"
When Captain Lu saw Tao Shunmin, he couldn't help but strode over with joy, gave Tao Shunmin a big hug, and then said with a smile:
"Submissive people, it'll be great when you come back!"
The two parties exchanged a few words, and Tao Shunmin went straight to the topic and asked Captain Lu to go outside the hospital to count the gifts sent by Kong Jie.
"Lao Kong is still so down-to-earth. Let me see what gifts he has given us."
Commander Lu followed Tao Shunmin out of the yard with a smile, and saw carts of supplies, as well as guns and ammunition, all with straws removed.
Second Battalion Commander Sun Chuanzhong was afraid that the equipment and ammunition he was interested in would escape, so he quickly said:
"Captain, I discussed with Lao Tao on the way just now that some of the equipment he brought back should be given to our Second Battalion. Our Second Battalion's current equipment and ammunition situation is too bad."
"You're the only one who has no future!"
Captain Lu smiled and cursed, but first focused on other supplies.
"These potatoes... I heard some news from the Taihang base area, saying that the independent group had obtained some high-yielding and improved potatoes, and they have been planting them on a large scale in the Taihang area, with extremely high yields per mu.
We also sent some to our Jizhong Military Region, but it was not our 28th Regiment's turn, but these potatoes?"
Tao Shunmin nodded, "Commander, these are the potatoes. I heard Commander Kong say that he originally seized these high-quality potatoes from the Japanese. They only weighed a few dozen kilograms at the time. As a result, he planted several crops in more than a year."
, and now we have grown 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of potatoes."
"Captain Kong said that as long as these potatoes are managed well and fertilized properly, the yield per mu can even reach several thousand kilograms."
What is the concept of a crop that can last for thousands of years per acre?
Captain Lu was stunned, and the Second Battalion Commander Sun Chuanzhong on the side even widened his eyes.
He finally understood why Lao Tao said that among the supplies shipped from the Independent Regiment this time, only the equipment and ammunition had the lowest value.
The value represented by these high-yield potatoes is amazing.
It’s not something that some equipment and ammunition can match.
"Storage, we must keep and store these high-quality potatoes, study carefully how to plant them, prepare fertilizers, and plant them when the season comes to expand the total amount." Captain Lu explained.
Tao Shunmin said: "Commander, what I brought back from Commander Kong this time is more important than this batch of potatoes."
"Oh?"
Tao Shunmin first stated Kong Jie's opinion that special guerrilla tactics such as tunnel warfare should be used to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops in the central Hebei Plain area.
Immediately afterwards, Tao Shunmin took out some books and manuals related to tunnel tactics sent by Kong Jie and let Captain Lu and the two commanders browse.
During this period, Tao Shunmin also shared some of his essential thoughts on the authentic tactics he learned from Kong Jie while he was recovering from his injuries.
Commander Lu and Battalion Commander Sun listened to Tao Shunmin's point of view, looked at the books in their hands, and then thought about how Jizhong responded to the Japanese and puppet troops' repeated sweeps because there were not as many mountainous areas as the Taihang area to provide depth for the guerrillas.
It is an inevitable tragic casualty.
The two became increasingly aware of the huge potential value of authentic tactics for the Jizhong Military Region to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops.
"Wonderful, so wonderful! This has simply moved the battlefield from the ground to the underground."
"It is equivalent to creating a special guerrilla battlefield underground in our Jizhong Plain."
"I can even conclude that if such guerrilla tactics were launched in our area of Jizhong Plain, it would definitely deal a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders!"
"O obedient citizen, your injury this time is really worth it!"
Tao Shunmin: "…………"
After hearing some of Tao Shunmin's essential ideas about tunnel tactics and learning that Tao Shunmin had studied tunnel tactics with Kong Jie for more than a month, Captain Lu immediately said:
"How can reading a book be more in-depth than learning from the founder, Lao Kong, obedient people, since you have specifically learned tunnel tactics from Lao Kong, from today on, our 28th Regiment will focus on preparations for tunnel guerrilla warfare against the Japanese invaders. I will give you all the preparations.
Leave it to you!"
Tao Shunmin did not refuse and said with a smile: "Captain, I am learning tunnel warfare from Commander Kong and I have been waiting for this day!"
Afterwards, Tao Shunmin showed Captain Lu the twenty mine detectors sent by Kong Jie.
Captain Lu was naturally overjoyed, "It's hard for us to seize this thing, and the little devils need to be careful. With these mine detectors, as Lao Kong said, we can block the devils in our base area."
He dug out all the mines in the minefield."
"These mines dug out are excellent raw materials for us to produce grenades and various types of explosives."
Finally, Tao Shunmin told Captain Lu about some matters concerning Kong Jie's preparation for business cooperation and military production cooperation with the 28th Regiment.
Captain Lu immediately made the decision:
"Lao Kong is a real person. You can't go wrong cooperating with Lao Kong. I agree with this and fully support it. Our 28th regiment must seize the opportunity and be the first regiment in the Central Hebei Military Region to cooperate with Lao Kong's detachment.
”
After chatting for a long time, Captain Lu’s excitement never subsided.
Battalion Commander Sun on the side even muttered: "Old Tao, you are not recovering from your injuries. You are obviously picking up treasures. I guess when I get injured, I will go to Commander Kong to pick up treasures!"
”
Finally, Commander Lu said: "The promotion of tunnel tactics is a top priority. During this period, the Japanese army has been eyeing our Jizhong Military Region and is very likely to launch a large-scale mopping up operation at any time. Only by making early preparations can we
Don’t be too passive.”
"I will seize the time to send these books related to tactics, especially authentic tactics, to the military region, and make another copy to bring back."
"Our regiment is also preparing to hold a military meeting. On the one hand, it is to determine how to cooperate with Lao Kong's detachment in the future. On the other hand, it is to prepare for the immediate launch of tunnel warfare at our 28th regiment's station."
"Yes!" Tao Shunmin and Sun Chuanzhong responded.
After Commander Lu rushed to the military region to report the specific situation.
It naturally caused another shock.
Commander Lu's suggestion that tunnel tactics should be implemented immediately in the central Hebei base area received full approval and support from the military region.
Some leaders of the military region even expressed their impatience.
How about applying to the Taihang Headquarters to transfer Kong Jie to the Jizhong Military Region for a period of time to teach tunnel tactics?
So far.
Following Tao Shunmin and his party, they returned to the Jizhong Military Region and brought back the authentic tactical ideas taught by Kong Jie, as well as books on innovative tactics.
The troops in the efficient Jizhong base area quickly began to adjust their tactics and add authentic elements to the original defense deployment of the base area.
The military cadres in Jizhong have many practical experience in fighting the Japanese and puppet troops.
The arrival of authentic tactical ideas immediately gave them the greatest inspiration.
Even before the books sent by Kong Jie were delivered to their hands, the military cadres in the base area had figured out some practical and authentic tactics on their own.
Of course, the books on the application of mature tunnel tactics sent by Kong Jie, who stood on the shoulders of giants, made up for some of the shortcomings and flaws of tunnel tactics for these military cadres.
A rapidly emerging authentic guerrilla tactic centered on the Jizhong base area soon blossomed in all directions in the Jizhong area.
Among them, various combat units, even militiamen and local troops, after learning the news, they did not care about anything but dug the tunnels during the defense construction first.
After the passages were built that connected everywhere and could be used to hide troops, move around, and fight, the soldiers at the station felt a lot more at ease.
With these tunnels where we can hide and fight, if the Japanese launch another raid, everyone will not be as passive as before because of the gentle plain terrain in central Hebei.
After preparing for tunnel fortifications, many military cadres even looked forward to the Japs coming to raid the base area.
"With these tunnel fortifications, even if our equipment and ammunition are not as good as those of the little Japs, we can still beat them to the point of crying for father and mother."
A commander said very domineeringly.
Time passes...
12th.
The 28th Regiment of Jizhong fought its first battle after applying authentic tactics.
A small Japanese army team entered the villages in the guerrilla zone outside the 28th Regiment to forcibly collect food.
Regarding the situation inside the village, out of caution, the Japanese also sent puppet soldiers and traitors to investigate in advance to ensure that the Eighth Route Army was not found in the village.
The Japanese squad, plus a puppet platoon, numbering nearly 100, plunged into the village unscrupulously.
The nightmare of the Japanese and puppet troops has just begun...
The 28th Regiment was the first to arrive as the tunnel tactics book, plus Tao Shunmin, Kong Jie's tunnel warfare teaching forefather, was a disciple.
The 28th Regiment is at the forefront of the entire Jizhong Military Region in its application of tunnel tactics.
While other regiments are still considering how to apply tunnel tactics to base defense.
Under Tao Shunmin's suggestion, the 28th Regiment's guerrilla fighting style of tunnel warfare was no longer limited, and even took the initiative to extend to some villages in the guerrilla area that were often harassed by Japanese and puppet troops.
And the tunnel was dug secretly based on the buildings in the village.
Some tunnel entrances are hidden in villagers' houses, under cellars, in stoves, in pigsties, and even under coffin boards.
The secrets contained therein are beyond the imagination of little devils.
When the Japanese entered the villagers' houses unsuspectingly, the soldiers who had been hiding in the tunnel early in the morning quickly attacked and gained the upper hand with sneak attacks.
In less than an hour, nearly a hundred Japanese and puppet troops were completely wiped out in the village.
On the other hand, a company of soldiers from the 28th Regiment suffered very few casualties.
This is where authentic tactics begin to shine.
When Captain Lu learned of the result, he slapped his thigh and was so surprised that he immediately listed this battle as a classic battle where authentic guerrilla tactics were first used, and made a detailed report and sent it to the military region.
The entire Jizhong base area was inspired by this. After hearing the great power of tunnel tactics, the various units in the base area that adopted tunnel tactics became more and more confident...
